AHCCCS; continuous glucose monitors

SB 1132 requires Arizona's AHCCCS (Medicaid) program to ensure members with diabetes can access continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) through either pharmacy or durable medical equipment benefits, allowing their prescribing doctors to choose the best option. The bill mandates that coverage criteria for CGMs must align with current medical standards and apply equally regardless of the benefit type used. It also requires the administration to publish these criteria as a clear, publicly accessible document on its website. This law directly affects AHCCCS members needing CGMs and updates how the state Medicaid program covers this essential diabetes management tool.
